CHAPTER X.
IXOYDASD ALICE.
mllE Sunday morning scrrlco was
Just ending when Kittredge
reached th enie prison, and
ne got bis first impressions of
tlio place "as Uejlatened to resounding
Greswrlan tones chanted, or, rather,
shouted, by tiers on tiers of prisoners,
each joining in the unison with full
lung power through cell doors chained
ajar. Lloyd settled down as comfort'
ably ns might be in his cell to pass tho
afternoon orcr "Tho Last of the Mo
"Weans." Scarcely bad Lloyd finished a single
chapter when one of the guards ap-
peared with ns much of surprise on ms
Btollu countenance as .an overworKea
naderjaller can show, for an unprece
dented thing had happened a prisoner
aa secret was to receive a visitor, a
yourig voman at" that. Moreover, ho
was to see her in tho private parlor,
With not even tho customary barrier
or iron" bars to separato them. When
Kittredge crossed tho threshold he
started back wjtu a cry of amazement.
"Alice!" he gasped, and his face Hgut-
ed with transfiguring Joy. It was a
bare room, with bare floors and bare
yellow painted walls, the only furnish
lngs being two cane chairs and a cheap
table, but to Klttredgo it was a mar
vclous and radiantly happy place, for
Alice was there. Ho stared at her
almost unbelieving, but it was true.
By somo kind miracle Alice his Alice
was there!
.Then, without any prelude, without
so much as asking for an explanation
or giving her time to mako one, Lloyd
sprung forward and caught tne trem
bllng girl In his arms and drow her
closo to him.
"You darling," ho whiskered "you
brave, beautiful darllngl I love you!
I lovo you!"
"Lloyd, dear," she said, "I am here
to help you, to get you out of this
dreadful place."
"You llttlo angel!" ho smiled.
"But first you must answer eomo
questions. I'll begin with tho easiest
questlou," she said. "Now, then, have
you ever had gout or rheumatism?
Don't laugh-lt'fl Important"
"Never." he answered.
"Do you play tennis with your right
hand or your left liana r
"Oh. see here," he protested.
"No, no," sho Insisted, "you must
tell mo,"
"I use both hands," be answered.
"Now, you havo a chest of drawers
In your room with two brass dogs
fighting about tho loci piatesr
"now tho devil did you know that?
"Never mind. You usually keep the
right hand uppor drawer locked, don't
you?"
That's true."
k "Do yon r.oaiemlr golnff to this
"No. I don't."
Alice hesitated, and then, with a
flush of embarrassment, she went on
bravely, "Now, Lloyd, I como to tho
hardest part"
"Wclir
"It's about tho lady who who called
for you. Sho wants to help you. I
have seen her.
"Whatr
"Yes, and, Lloyd, sho Is sorry for tho
harm she has done and"
"You have seen her?" ho cried, daz
ed. "How?"
Then, In as few words as possible,
Alice told of her talk with the lady
at the church. "And 1 have this mes
sago for you from her and and this."
She hauded him the note and .the
folded banknotes.
Lloyd's face clouded. ."She sent mo
money?" His Hps grew white. "No.
no." he declared. "It's quite impossible.
I cnunot take It," and ho handed the
money back.
She thrilled with pride In hlra.
"But the lawyer?" weakly.
"Would you want mo to owe my
safety to her?"
"Oh. no." she murmured.
"Besides, they havo glveu me a law
yer." "Then then what shall 1 do with
these?" She looked at tho banknotes
In perplexity.
"Return them."
"Ah. yes." she agreed. "I will go to
her apartment In the morning. Let me
see, It's on the Avenue Where did 1
put her address?". And sho went
through tho form of -searching In her
pocketbook.
"The Avenue Kleber," unsuspecting.
"Of course, tho Avenue Kleber.'
Where is that card? I've forgotten tho
number too. Do you remember it.
dear?"
Poor child! Sho tried so hard to
speak naturally, but her emotion be
trayed her.
Ah. I see!" ho cried, eying ner
teadlly. "She did not glvo you her ad
dress and you are trying to get it from
me. Do you even know her name
"No," confessed Alice shamefacedly.
"Forgive me. I I wanted to lieip
you." '
By making mo do a aisnonoraDio
thing?" v
"Don't look nt me like that. I wouiu
not have you do a dlshonorablo thing,
but"-
"Wbo told you to ask me these ques
tions?"
"M. Coquenll."
"What! The detective?"
"Yes. Ho believes you innocent.
Lloyd hnJ lie's going to provo It"

would prevail on,the young man to re

If Your Neighbor Has
Electric Light
and you have not, just step into his house
some evening after dark and compare its light
with your own. Study each point of conve
nience, cleanliness, clearness, beauty carefullv.
and then figure out for yourself if it would
not pay you well to have your house wired
for electric light at once.
Electric light today is cheaper and better than
ever before, since the General Electric Com
pany placed its MAZDA lamp on the mar
ket. We have arranged to supply our cus
tomers with the G.E. MAZDA lamps ort very
favorable terms. These lamps give two to
three times as much light as other lamps
using the same current.
If your house is located on any' of our dis
tributina lines wo shall bo glad to advise you
about having it wired and will give you
more facts about tha efficient electric lighting
of your home.
